Longview Twin Palms Pinot Noir 2024

The Pinot Noir sits on a south-eastern facing slope at high altitude. Our twin palm trees over look these vineyards. Fruit is hand harvested from two blocks planted to three clones (114, 145 and 777). Both blocks were spur pruned to low bud numbers and shoot thinned early followed by a bunch thin at veraison to remove variability and allow even ripening. Handpicked fruit is chilled down in a cool room before processing, ensuring purity and flavour without oxidization. Fruit was harvested at the start of March, then crushed, chilled before ferment 100% underwent a cool ferment in stainless steel and then in old French oak puncheons for 6 months.
